Sometimes I need a high contrast color scheme, and I think monokai is one of the best solutions, it's very beautiful and vivid.
However there is one thing I can't stand -- the contrast is too high, which is totally unacceptable for me.
This color scheme is based on [Monokai Pro](https://monokai.pro/vscode), the contrast is adjusted to be a bit lower while keeping the colors vivid enough.
The `shusia`, `maia` and `espresso` variants are basically modified versions of Monokai Pro. I'm not going to port all variants of Monokai Pro because I don't like some of them. In addition, I designed some new variants inspired by other color schemes.
## Features
- High contrast but within acceptable range.
- Vivid colors.
- Highly customizable.
- Rich support for common file types and plugins.
- Tree-sitter support.
- Semantic highlighting support.
- [Italic support](https://aka.sainnhe.dev/fonts) 🎉
